Let me tell a bit more about my vision: mem_layout: device can handle SG lists (e.g. using iommu) or it cannot and needs CMA. If it can handle SG, CMA is also ok. So it is ether 'I don't care' or 'give me CMA'. planes_layout: some devices might want to see multiplanar data in one buffer. So if we allocate two sets of mem entries (one per each plane) and send them to the host, the device will fail to handle those. So from my perspective you example can be interpreted as follows: (1) means all your planes are hosted by one buffer instance (we can see it as one fd for all planes plus per-plane offsets inside the buffer), the buffer itself consists of arbitrary pages (or can consist, as it can of course also be CMA, because of UNSPEC). (2) valid, means each plane has its own buffer, each buffer is contiguous in memory (must be allocated from CMA), but planes are not necessarily adjacent to each other in memory. This also means that we cannot have unspec for planes layout. Device either expects planes in separate buffers or in one buffer with some offsets, there cannot be mixed cases. So it should look like this: enum virtio_video_planes_layout { VIRTIO_VIDEO_PLANES_LAYOUT_UNSPEC = 0, /* default, invalid */ VIRTIO_VIDEO_PLANES_LAYOUT_CONTIG = 0x100, VIRTIO_VIDEO_PLANES_LAYOUT_NON_CONTIG, }; Best regards, Dmitry > > Best regards, > Keiichi > > > Best regards, > > Dmitry. > > > > > Best regards, > > > Dmitry. > > > > > > > Best regards, > > > > Keiichi > > > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > Dmitry. > > > > > > > > > > > Best regards, > > > > > > Keiichi > > > > > > > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > > Dmitry. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > For future V4L2 development we came up with the idea of a > > > > > > > > > format > > > > > > > > > flag > > > > > > > > > which could mean that the hardware allows putting planes in > > > > > > > > > separate > > > > > > > > > buffers.
